"Huangfu Peng greets Venerable Yupo. Fortunately, you guys arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable in another half a day … The entire Yin Province would have fallen into the hands of the Liu Clan." An excited look appeared on the black-armored man's face as he respectfully bowed to Huangfu Yupo.
"No need to be so courteous. It is already a great merit for you to be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived. Demon King will definitely reward you in the future." Huangfu Yupo said plainly.
"Thank you, Elder Yupo." The black-armored man was overjoyed and bowed again.
"How is the situation in Yin Province? Besides you guys, are there any other defenders of the HuangFu Clan?" Huangfu Yupo asked.
"Half a month ago, the Liu Clan suddenly attacked Yin Province. Relying on those Demonic Corpses, they defeated the main force of the clan in Yin Province. The local aristocratic families have all moved out. This subordinate had no choice but to defend against the Liu Clan's attack while retreating … The remaining forces of Yin Province are all here. "The black-armored man's expression darkened as he said in a low voice.
Huangfu Yupo frowned. When the black-armored man was speaking, she had already scanned the entire Yinfeng City with her divine sense. She found that there were less than ten thousand people left in the city. Most of them should be the garrison troops. The ordinary aristocratic families and commoners had probably escaped to the neighboring provinces.
The HuangFu Clan had stationed more than a hundred thousand soldiers in Yin Province before the war. Although they weren't as elite as the six major legions, they were still a strong force. Who would have thought that they would be defeated in less than a month. From this, it could be seen that the Liu Clan had been planning for a long time.
"How is the enemy's situation now?" Huangfu Yupo pondered and asked.
"The main force of the Liu Clan is in a stronghold outside of Yinfeng City. They have gathered more than a hundred thousand soldiers and a Profound Understanding Realm expert. However, they haven't made a move yet. Otherwise, Yinfeng City would have been breached long ago." The black-armored man said.
Huangfu Yupo's eyes flashed as she nodded. She then ordered the Blood Lion Legion's airships to land in Yinfeng City.
Yinfeng City's restriction was opened. Dozens of giant airships landed in the city.
"Huangfu Yuan, lead the legion's formation masters to repair Yinfeng City's restriction as soon as possible. Reinforce the city …"
"Huangfu Zhuo, gather the remaining soldiers in the city …"
"Send two hundred more spies and arrange them within a hundred miles of Yinfeng City to prevent the Liu Clan's sudden attack …"
A series of orders were issued out of Huangfu Yupo's mouth in an orderly manner. After a quarter of an hour, the Blood Lion Legion had already left the ship and lined up in Yinfeng City.
Liu Ming looked at the Blood Lion Legion in front of him, whose reaction was incomparably fast, and secretly praised them in his heart. He had a new view of Huangfu Yupo's methods.
Soon, Yinfeng City became busy. Huangfu Yupo seemed to be planning to build Yinfeng City into a sturdy fortress and use it as a stronghold to recover the lost land.
After issuing a series of orders, Huangfu Yupo summoned the black-armored burly man to the conference hall in the city. He should be asking about the current situation in Yin Zhou.
Although the city was busy, Liu Ming was alone, so he was very leisurely.
He was planning to study the defensive formation in the city when a purple ray of light shot over and landed in front of him. It was Zhao Qianying.
"Liu … Master wants to see you." Zhao Qianying glanced at Liu Ming with a bashful expression. She didn't know how to address Liu Ming for a moment.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao. Do you know what it is?" Liu Ming was much more generous. He frowned and asked.
There were all kinds of talents in the Blood Lion Legion. As an outsider, he couldn't play much of a role except for his valiant fighting ability.
"I don't know." Zhao Qianying shook her head.
Liu Ming frowned and nodded. He followed Zhao Qianying to a hall in the city.
There was only Huangfu Yupo in the hall. He was muttering to himself with his head lowered. He looked up when he heard footsteps.
"Patriarch Liu, I've neglected you on the way." Huangfu Yupo said with a faint smile.
Along the way, Liu Ming had been riding an ordinary flying boat with the ordinary demons. Huangfu Yupo and the other high-ranking members of the Blood Lion Legion had been on the Sun Moon Warship.
They hadn't seen each other many times in the past half a month.
"Elder Yupo is too polite. I'm not a guest. I'm just an ordinary soldier here." Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
Both parties exchanged some pleasantries and sat down.
"May I know why Elder Yupo asked me to come here?" Liu Ming didn't have any intention of making small talk. He got straight to the point after he sat down.
"I've already found out that the Liu Family's rebels are camped near the Black Wind Mountain outside the city. They plan to take action before the Liu Family can reorganize their army. They want to completely defeat the rebel army." Huangfu Yupo smiled at Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming heard this, he didn't show any change on his face. However, he was a little surprised.
He saw that Huangfu Yupo had just issued a series of orders to reorganize the various affairs of Yinfeng City. He originally thought that Huangfu Yupo was planning to use this place as a stronghold and fight steadily. He didn't expect her to be so impatient.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He glanced at Zhao Qianying who was standing beside him and a thought emerged in his mind.
Could it be that Huangfu Yupo wanted to take some credit for Zhao Qianying?
When he was in the imperial city, he had already sensed that the princes and princesses were fighting for the throne. Huangfu Yupo naturally stood behind Zhao Qianying. If the Blood Lion Legion could make a contribution in the war against the Liu Family, it would naturally be beneficial for Zhao Qianying.
After all, the position of the Crown Prince was currently undecided. Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Jiangu both had a high chance of being chosen by the Void Demon Cauldron. If they could accumulate some prestige now, it would naturally be more logical for them to be chosen as the Crown Prince in the future.
When Liu Ming thought of this, he only smiled and didn't say anything.
"I've heard from Ying 'er that Patriarch Liu was courageous and resourceful in the Devil Abyss. Your thoughts are meticulous. This time, I hope that Patriarch Liu can do your best to help us." Huangfu Yupo saw that Liu Ming's expression didn't change and continued to speak.
"I will naturally obey Elder Yupo's instructions." Liu Ming's expression didn't change as he cupped his fists and agreed.
"Good. The Liu Family Legion is nothing. The only thing that makes me feel slightly threatened is those demonic corpses. But with Patriarch Liu's help, I believe that those demonic corpses are nothing to be afraid of." Huangfu Yupo smiled.
"Elder Yupo is too kind. I am only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If there is anything that Elder Yupo can use, I will definitely do my best." Liu Ming said without batting an eyelid.
Huangfu Yupo was quite satisfied with Liu Ming's attitude. After talking for a while, he let Liu Ming leave.
"Master, do you really insist on taking the initiative to attack? The enemy is too powerful. As long as we defend Yinfeng City and inform the reinforcements from the surrounding prefectures to attack together, won't our chances of winning be greater? "Zhao Qianying asked after Liu Ming left.
"Silly Ying 'er, if we wait for the others to come, won't the credit be shared with them? I have enough confidence to defeat the Liu Family Legion outside the city. The demonic corpses are a bit troublesome, but with Liu Ming's help, I should be able to deal with them. "Huangfu Yupo said.
Zhao Qianying's long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings when she heard this. She didn't say anything else.
… …
Liu Ming left the hall and came to Yinfeng City.
The Blood Lion Legion in the city had already begun to gather. The original guards in the city were scattered everywhere and began to repair the city's defensive formation.
"Hmm …"
Liu Ming's heart jumped. A strange feeling arose in his heart. He faintly felt that there was a gaze secretly watching him.
He looked around and spread out his divine sense. However, he didn't find the slightest abnormality.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was secretly shocked. His mental strength had increased a lot recently, and the Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness was more complete. His spiritual sense was abnormally sharp. If someone was spying on him and could hide from his spiritual sense, it must be an Ethereal Enlightenment Realm expert.
"It can't be Huangfu Yupo. There's no need for her to spy on me. Could it be that there are other Ethereal Enlightenment Realm experts hidden in the Blood Lion Legion?" Liu Ming continued to move forward without batting an eyelid.
"There's no need to think about it. That person was sent by Huangfu Yong. Ever since you left the Devil Emperor Palace, he has been lurking in the side and spying on you." Mo Tian's voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ming's mind.
"You're finally willing to show yourself!" Liu Ming's expression stiffened. He immediately recovered and snorted coldly in his heart.
Mo Tian chuckled. He wasn't angry at Liu Ming's attitude.
"You said that Huangfu Yong secretly sent an Ethereal Enlightenment cultivator to spy on me. Who is that person? Do you have any clues? "Liu Ming couldn't be bothered to argue with Mo Tian and asked directly.
He did not like the feeling of being watched.
"He is Huang Fuyong's trusted aide. I didn't expect him to advance to the Mystic Opening Realm after so many years." Mo Tian sneered.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, but his expression did not change.
"Why did Huangfu Yong send an Ethereal Enlightenment cultivator to spy on me? I don't think I have such a great reputation. That person probably did it for you, right? "
"You have my aura on you. Before you were summoned by the Void Demon Cauldron, you leaked some of it. Huang Fuyong must have thought that you might be my descendant. Therefore, he sent that person to monitor you and find out my whereabouts at the same time. "Mo Tian chuckled and said.
Liu Ming's face darkened and he snorted heavily. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said,
"If we are being monitored by this Ethereal Enlightenment cultivator, we might be in trouble at any moment. If you and I work together, what do you think are the chances of getting rid of that person?"
"Don't act rashly for now. You are still in the Blood Lion Legion. That person won't dare to do anything to you because of Huangfu Yupo. Let's wait for a period of time first." Mo Tian said slowly.
Liu Ming frowned when he heard the statement. However, Mo Tian's words made sense. Once they made a move and that person escaped, it would be equivalent to a life and death struggle with the Huangfu Clan.
The risk was too great.
Liu Ming then walked around the city as though nothing had happened. He then returned to his temporary residence and quietly waited for the time to set off.
